Dr. Anthony Fauci on Tuesday said President Trump’s stated timeline of lifting of restrictions on parts of the country by Easter Sunday should be "flexible." Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and a prominent member of the White House's coronavirus task force, added it is important for public health officials to gauge how widespread coronavirus is in parts of the country that haven't reported significant numbers of cases. “That’s really very flexible,” Fauci told reporters at the White House when asked about the president’s timeline, which he floated earlier Tuesday during a Fox News...

A video posted Monday by the Global Times, a tabloid run by the Communist Party of China, uses footage of numerous American media outlets and Democratic politicians to portray criticism of China's handling of the coronavirus as racist. In addition to citing CNN's Chris Cuomo and NBC's Richard Engel, the video highlights tweets from two-time failed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and New York City mayor Bill de Blasio parroting regime talking points. "It is easy to scapegoat people, and that is what has always happened when there have been pandemics or epidemics," Engel says in the clip featured in...

A 40th gathering in Connecticut has been dubbed 'party zero' after guests became infected and spread coronavirus across several states and the around the world. About 50 guests reportedly gathered on March 5 at a home in the wealthy suburb of Westport for a lavish buffet and celebration. After the event, roughly half of those at the party became infected with the disease, then transmitted it to other states and the rest of the world. According to the New York Times, guests left that evening for Johannesburg, New York City, other parts of Connecticut and the wider US. One of...

Dry Run In October of 2019, Bill Gates and a group of world Elites met in New York, NY to simulate an eerily similar event to what we are experiencing today. It was called Event 201. In addition to the Gates Foundation, the cast of characters were the UN, WHO, Chinese CDV, US CDC, and the mainstream media. The goal was to simulate an escaped virus pandemic that goes around the globe starting in the Chinese Wuhan Market. What would it affect? What would it result in? How should the media react? What would they do in the aftermath? They...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has slipped into her coronavirus plan a quasi-amnesty for hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens enrolled in former President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. On Tuesday, Pelosi released another revised version of House Democrats’ plan in the midst of the coronavirus crisis, which includes: A nationwide mandate for ballot harvesting $300 million for foreign refugees abroad An automatic visa extension for all foreign workers An expansion of foreign-language ballots Same-day voter registration for the 2020 presidential election Slipped into the plan is an amnesty for the nearly 700,000 to 800,000 DACA illegal...

I don't normally discuss politics with most of you because it just upsets half the people I know. Many of you are going to be very upset with me for this. That is fine because it more important that you hear the truth then like me. What is going on in DC right now is incredibly dangerous. The level of out and out lying by US House Democrats about their objections to the Virus Relief bill is incredible. There IS no "$500 billion slush" fund, no "bailing out the rich at the expense of the workers" Those are marketing slogans...

Anyone watching Joe Biden's bizarre Tuesday afternoon MSNBC interview with Nicolle Wallace really had to wonder about the guy after watching the bizarre, rambling, and gooey interview. Between Biden's tangents that would sudden start then stop and Wallace's disturbing infatuation and wide smile hanging on his every word, it was as weird as one could possibly imagine. Biden alternated between getting choked up while discussing people who had lost loved ones to the virus, with flinging insults at President Trump --- only to instantly issue abashed, child-like apologies, calling his words "stupid," saying "sorry," and "I shouldn't have said it...

More than half of coronavirus patients worldwide have become better, according to the Johns Hopkins Center for Systems Science and Engineering live tracker. The tracker shows that of the 354,677 confirmed cases around the globe, 15,436 have died while 100,462 recovered.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s daughter has been suspended from Twitter for violating their policy against “glorification of violence” in her tweet endorsing assault on Sen. Rand Paul. “Rand Paul’s neighbor was right” Christine Pelosi tweeted in response to Senator Paul’s remarks on his Coronavirus diagnosis. Senator Paul was attacked by his neighbor Rene Boucher while he was mowing his lawn and suffered six broken ribs in 2017. Last year, he had to have part of his lung removed due to complications from the attack. Boucher plead guilty to a federal charge of assaulting a member of Congress last year and...

" If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD; then the Lord will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance. Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee.Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them...

In a series of interviews Tuesday, Joe Biden attempted to remind America he's still running for president, but ended up providing President Trump a treasure trove of campaign fodder. The ostensible Democratic front-runner appeared in lengthy interviews on CNN, MSNBC, and ABC's "The View," to describe how much more competent his handling of the Coronavirus crisis would be were he in the White House, but appeared confused and sick — coughing incessantly — throughout the appearances. CNN's Jake Tapper even had to remind the former vice president that current protocol is to cough into his elbow, not his his, as...

Amid deadlock, Senator Martha McSally threatened to introduce a bill withholding Senators pay “until Americans are put before politics” if the coronavirus relief package fails a second time. If the Senate can’t come together in a time of great need, no Senator should receive a paycheck—like millions of Americans. If the urgent COVID-19 relief package fails again, I’m introducing a bill immediately to withhold Senators’ pay until Americans are put before politics.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi must be blind. She’s actually advocating that she and her fellow Democrats nationalize the medical supply chain and is holding the third coronavirus relief bill hostage until she and her party get what they want. She wants us to believe that this is the only solution to meet the growing need for goods to combat the coronavirus. What this is truly about is her and her colleagues’ own arrogance and quest for government expansion and control of the economy -- an obvious power grab that’s clearly designed to exploit the COVID-19 national emergency. Is Pelosi so...

The young man got completely floored after CCTV footage captured him fighting an elderly manA thug who was seen hitting an OAP was dealt a swift dose of karma when a passerby knocked him out. The shocking footage shows a pensioner hitting a young man on the pavement with a shopping bag. He responds by punching the elderly man in the face, who struggles to stand after the blow. As the other person gears up for a follow-up attack, a burly onlooker charges towards him. The stocky man floors his rival with a single right hook and then stands over...

Brits are drinking almost double the amount of booze at home, as they join their friends in virtual pubs online for a pint after venues were forced to close their doors yesterday. With home-drinking almost doubling to 100 million pints a week in the UK, millions are expected to join the virtual phenomenon, knocking back pints in front of their phones’ video-conferencing apps as their friends do the same. Jokers even gave their cyber-pubs — run on apps such as Zoom — names including The Stay Inn, Isolate Inn and The Quarant Inn. Britain’s top psychologist Sir Cary Cooper backed...

A flash of potential good news from the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic: A treatment is showing promise. Doctors in France, South Korea and the U.S. are using an antimalarial drug known as hydroxychloroquine with success.

In a letter signed by pro-life leaders, including Live Action founder and president Lila Rose, the Susan B. Anthony List is urging Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar to ensure that emergency response funds for the COVID-19 outbreak are not inappropriately given to the abortion industry. The letter also expresses concern that the abortion industry’s decision to remain in operation as “essential,” even though abortion is never medically necessary, deliberately kills human beings, keeps desperately needed medical supplies from medical teams responding to the pandemic, and can add additional demand to the already overstrained medical system due to potential...
